A deed (anciently "an evidence")

A deed (anciently "an evidence") is
any legal instrument in writing which
passes, affirms or confirms
an interest, right, or property and that is
signed, attested, delivered, and in
some jurisdictions, sealed.

3.

It is commonly associated with
transferring title to property.

The deed has a
greater presumption of validity
and is less rebuttable than an
instrument signed by the party to
the deed.

5.

A deed can be unilateral or
bilateral.

Deeds include
conveyances
commissions, licenses
patents, diplomas

The traditional phrase signed, sealed and
delivered refers to the practice of seals; however,
attesting witnesses have replaced seals to some
extent.

At common law, to be valid and enforceable, a deed must fulfill several requirements:
• It must state on its face that it is a deed, using wording like "This Deed..." or "executed as a deed".
• It must indicate that the instrument itself conveys some privilege or thing to someone.
• The grantor must have the legal ability to grant the thing or privilege, and the grantee must have
the legal capacity to receive it.
• It must be executed by the grantor in presence of the prescribed number of witnesses, known as
instrumentary witnesses (this is known as being in solemn form).
• It must be delivered to (delivery) and accepted by the grantee (acceptance).
In some jurisdictions, a seal must be affixed to it. Originally, affixing seals made persons parties to the deed and
signatures optional, but seals are now outdated in most jurisdictions, so the signatures of the grantor and witnesses are
primary.
